This week, the Dakar Series China Rally is held across 2500 km in Inner Mongolia, on a route designed by Tiziano Siviero.

Damen Jefferies and (Uruguayan) Diego Licio competed with a buggy for team Yan Dai Chen Group. They drove an American prototype, whereas the teammates drove a Chinese clone.

On stage 1, their teammates retired on km 5. At the bivouac, the team told the Jefferies / Licio that they were out of the race, having switched the decals so the Chinese would drive the American buggy...
